The Jersey City Board Of Public Works Is
composed Of six members, one from each
Aldermanic district in the city. The Commits

Three are elected at each spring election and

two Republicans and one Democrat were elect

Democrats. Politically the Board is q tie. but
at the organization meeting Commissioner
Van Keuren, Republican, was unanimously

regarded as the most corrupt branch OF the

at the very first meeting announced that he
intended that the new Board should be q re-

ployees were dismissed on President Van
Keuren's statement that they never did any
thing but draw their salary. Some of the
Commissioners were opposed to the dismiss
ing Of so many men. This was one cause Of
disagreement. and after that the Commission

patronage, and q deadlock was the result.
